I got termination ban but I thought it was too harsh

Hi

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but when you signed up to play it was your responsibility to read and understand the ToS and prohibited actions.

All you needed to do was google ffxiv’s prohibited activities to answe your question; the things you bolded are literally the parts of the ToS/prohibited list that apply to your case. It is not a mystery.

Your use of the mouse to automate potion crafting violates the rules and while 99.99% of the time nobody will care that you use them while sitting at your desk playing, you fell asleep while the script continued to run, presumably crafting potions for hours.

(Prohibited Behaviors)

■Behavior that disrupts the game balance
Square Enix strictly prohibits the use of third-party programs or tools as these disrupt the balance of the game. Third-party programs and tools that permit automated or "absentee" play are prohibited. A Game Master (GM) may speak to players to investigate and confirm "absentee" play, and if the player continues with this behavior, contrary to the GM's instructions, they will be treated as participating in "absentee" play and subject to penalties.

Accordingly, the following activities are prohibited:

- Modifying, analyzing, integrating, and/or reverse-engineering game software or data.
- Creating, distributing, using, or promoting utilities that interact with the game.
